A 40 year old foreman was allegedly murdered at a drinking party last night at Nadi back road.

Divisional Crime Officer Western ASP Luke Rawalai confirmed the alleged incident took place around 11pm last night when a fight broke out between some friends who were having a drinking party.

Rawalai said a fellow friend is alleged to have stabbed the foreman with a kitchen knife during the fight.

The foreman was rushed to Nadi hospital where he was pronounced dead by Doctors.

Rawalai said the suspect has been taken into custody and charges are expected to be laid later this afternoon.

The post mortem examination of the foreman will be conducted tomorrow.
